Indeed there appears to be a one day discrepancy. While yours for example is the same for both LFS and RSC. *shrug*

I don't quite understand how you think they would have taken the data from RSC..? Lots of people had LFS license names which were different to their RSC username, and also the vast majority of RSC users would not have been LFS license holders. Do you think they checked every LFS license name for a corresponding RSC account and copied the date? From a programming perspective I can't believe they would have done that. Obviously they wouldn't have manually copied 68,000 accounts either...

Well then I guess I'm the exception to the rule since my join date was migrated from the RSC forums even though I wasn't a registered LFS user at the time.

You're absolutely sure that you didn't register on lfs.net at all? I had registered a demo account in Dec 2003 on lfs.net and I completely forgot about it until a month ago, so maybe you did register and you simply forgot that you did. I don't think they copied the list from RSC, and I'm sure J.B. will agree since he uses his demo account to post on this forum precisely because it wasn't transferred over from RSC.

That is very very likely as my memory isn't what I remember it used to be like. The latter statement forming a recursive problem of its own.

I never suggested that if they did it they'd do it manually. You're most likely right though anyhow - it just happens that alot of RSC join dates coincide with LFS join dates. Perhaps due to some LFS release that caught everyone's attention back then.

So there you have it, coincidence and bad memory pulled one on my reasoning. Which is frighteningly close to how religions get a boost in popularity...

Further proof my theory has died: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=2784

I am not. So you can get me off the list

i have a userID of 16 in this forum , and i think users´s ID is taken from the registration on the LFS.net site. It would fit in my case , because i surely registered on LFS.net the 1st day registration was possible, but this was sure in demo days, so nothing can be said about 1st S1 license. On the other hand i prepaid S1 and was surely in the first bunch of guys that got S1.

ID #1 is Victor, #2 is vari, but Scawen is #43, so this number may not correspond to the join date

It does. Just look at the actual join date. The first 22 signed up on 20th January 2003. Number 23 signed up on 21st January, as did Scawen.

/me raises hand

Some sort of highlight feature could be nice, hmm
